I have wrapped several sets of the Universal guides. I may be a little biased, I know Mike McCoy and have been seeing these guides all through his design and tooling to make them. They need no filing and the feet are equal in length and in line with each other. As guides get larger the radius of the concave bottom gets larger making the guides sized for the area of the blank they will go. The guides also have a lower profile by a little. The main thing I like about them as a professional outwrapper is no guide prep necessary.
